YYZ is such a #### hole especially the A gates that WestJet typically uses. A13, 14, 15, 16 is such a tiny area in the corner of the terminal that barely has enough room for passengers waiting to board a full 737-800 flight but it is made worse because there are usually 3 flights boarding at the same time. It is such a zoo.

It's the same in T1 at the D40-44 gates. Often 4 or flights and not enough seats for everyone, so everyone just stands where people need to board, and there are Air Canada agents telling everyone to sit and wait their turn.
T3 is undergoing renovations though, and so is the IFC as more flights get put over there.
Funny story, the Infield Concourse (IFC) used to be the Infield Terminal (IFT), but when the airport stuck AerLingus there, they told them it was an actual terminal. Well, it wasn't, and AerLingus went after them.

Are those the low A gates, 1-6 or something? I had to board a flight over there once and it was a weird place. It took forever to get over there and I think they had moving walkways in the tunnel but they were all out of service.

No, IFC gate numbers are all in the 5s. It was originally built while T1 was being completely redone. Since then, the airport has consistently let it fall apart and then had to spend money to refurbish it.
It was used for the G20, and for some film and movie shoots (Flashpoint, Fringe, The Strain, the Love Guru I think), as well as when Trudeau brought in all the refugee flights.
The building is only accessible by buses running from the main terminals, through the Infield tunnel, and across.
The low As is the T3 satellite terminal. Like the IFC, the airport lets it fall apart and then spends money to refurbish it. Passengers access via a pedestrian tunnel underneath the apron. Used to just be Westjet, but Flair goes there now too.
Can we all just agree, as a country, when entering personal address details onto any website from now until forever, postal codes will either have a space or no-space between the first and last 3 digits?
Day month year. (Small to big). I’ve personally tried to standardize on this. Am I a monster?
Alternately Year month day (big to small) also works well.
Or American style month day year. Wtf.

Or phone numbers… space? Dash? Period?
People who use periods for phone numbers are nerds 100% of the time.

Yes, you are a monster for “day month year” if you intend to type that in to any spreadsheet or use for a filename.
Year month day doesn’t just work well, it literally works the best.
And yes, I am talking about every imaginable application besides one human reading the date to another human.

I can’t remember specifically which CRA/government website I was having to negotiate through a few weeks ago but multiple entry pages and different divisions and their date formats were different. Ditto for no/space postal code. Drove me crazy.

We had forms from CBE that ran the whole gamut of varying date formats.
Also any forms that don’t resize the font for addresses really GMG. My next house is going to be in a numbered street.

Ugh...I know CRA is the worst for that, they just switch up date formats at random depending on what you're inputting it for and its frustrating.
Or when you're trying to input a date and the form will move you from 'Year' to the next field automatically....except NO! It wont.
Because for some inexplicable goddamned insane reason the CRA 'Year' cell is expecting 5 digits.
What the actual F###? Planning ahead for the year 10,000 are we? Then we wont have enough cells because you'll want the goddamned comma in there too ya evil bastards??
